I cannot believe that it’s still September. I had a cup of hot coco this morning. The local weather channel is reporting that this winter is going to be seriously cold. I really hope that we won’t have too much snow around here.
This week I have tons of appointments. Checking them off one by one, I’m coming very close to “it” to be totally over. Tomorrow is the busiest day of the week. Four important meetings and one long video-com class. Should prepare for now.
New Tennis Shoes
Got a pair of new Nike yesterday. I’ve been hurting my left foot because of my old shoes so I’m very glad I have new ones. Davis Cup is going on these days and finally the US team picked up the first win yesterday over Slovak Republic. Ahrh I wish I could play like James. He does things in a certain way of his and it’s so elegant!
Cougars’ First Game in 2003
Cougs won over New Mexico by 23-13! Was too bad that we had only one touchdown, but got a 2-point conversion. Next week, cougs will face Oregon Ducks. The game will be on the ESPN at 12:30 pm (PDT). Ducks upset No. 3 Michigan today so – best wish to Cougs next week…
Simone
Simone (2002), (C+)
パチーノさんだし、このモデルさん美しいし、おもしろそうなストーリーでしたけど、とにかく最後が最悪でしたね。でもテクノロジーが進化して、この映画が予測したような方向にはいかなそうなので、それがまたこの映画の評価を下げているのかもしれません。

Packages
Akinori got a package from L. L. Bean yesterday. He got a pair of new shoes! Yay!
Got another package from Barnes & Noble today. Akinori orderd a book, “When Life Nearly Died – The Greatest Mass Extinction of All Time.” I guess he is very much interested in this kind of stuff and even planning to do a research on this for his PhD. As for me, I got 2 city guide books about London and Tokyo. These guidebooks have a very cute looking and I’ll post reviews about them soon, hopefully.
Though Amazon sells almost all books lots cheaper than Barnes & Noble, I more than sometimes prefer buying books from Barnes & Noble. Why? Because A., they have their retail stores nationwide and I like being there to browse books. B., So I got a so-called “Readers’ Advantage” card from Barnes & Noble to get some prices off and it can be used online, too. and C., So I guess the marketing strategies that Barnes & Noble uses just captured this innocent (?) Japanese girl here!
